One half of a Peterson & Bros stereo card of the waterfront at the foot of Columbia Street recorded from the dogleg end of Yesler’s Wharf. The Elephant Store, at the southeast corner of Columbia and Front (First) stand in front of the future site of the first fire station. Curiously, even here in 18978 there is a tower showing its head behind the store. Curious. The clump of trees on the horizon is near 7th/8th Avenue. Soon we may have this estimate refined as we (Rod Edge, Greg Lange and I) are now studying the deforestation of First Hill, but not quite yet.
